Popular Socialist Party of Brazil

The Popular Socialist Party (PPS) is a social democratic political party in Brazil that was founded in 1992. The PPS was formed by Brazilian Communist Party dissidents, and the party supported Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's Workers' Party of Brazil until 2006, when the party endorsed the PSDB during the presidential election. In 2016, the party consolidated its anti-PT stance by supporting Dilma Rousseff's impeachment, and it formed an alliance with the PSDB and PMDB parties.
